The "S" theme isn't overly clear to me either, but my larger issue is with the blatant pandering, and use of others' intellectual property. As a general rule, I'm just not a fan of the pop-culture reference shirts at all. There are exceptions, of course, in which the artist presents the familiar in a new, different, or quirky way, (Radishes, Batrobin, etc.) but to me, this shirt does none of those things. It's simply taken popular, established images and slapped smiley faces and arms & legs on them.

I find it deeply disappointing that this is presently in the fog, collecting votes not necessarily because of it's artistry, but because of the "omfgi<3lotr factor", while other more original and creative designs stand no chance at printing.

No offense, Kdeuce or fans, but at this point how many shirts with this exact template do you want? Side placement? Check. Random splash in the background with generic, nondescript, probably black image relating to the theme on top? Check. Let's see some variety.

Some previous designs of yours I have enjoyed - ie, the Pinocchio table (one of my favourites!), and the forbidden tomato/ketchup romance - haven't fared as well with the voting crowd here as others, and I wonder if it was perhaps because of the "joke" element?

This was seriously a last minute deal last night and unfortunately my time on it got cut short due to personal reasons. It didn't get my normal polish and refinement time. Hopefully some of you like it though. Later my fellow wooters.

I'm still a fan though! :P If I liked everything all the time I'd get suspicious of myself, hehe
